By Chris Williams: WBO welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao has had a world of problems in his three fights against Juan Manuel Marquez and he should feel himself incredibly lucky that he doesn’t have three losses to show for those fights against Marquez because there’s more a few boxing fans who believe that Pacquiao deserved to win none of the fights.

Pacquiao said to ****** “My trainer Freddie Roach has said many times that Juan is the only smart one out there; the one fighter who has figured me out. I know the fans want to see a fourth fight between us, and I can understand why. Right now, I can only focus on the task at hand.”

Pacquiao won a controversial decision over Marquez in his last fight, and he had the chance to clear that up by fighting an immediate rematch against Marquez. However, Pacquiao thought that boxing fans wouldn’t see it as an interesting fight, so instead he’s facing one of his promoter Bob Arum’s recent signees Tim Bradley on June 9th. The move will likely cost Pacquiao a lot of money because a fight between Pacquiao and Bradley likely won’t bring in anywhere close to then same kind of numbers that a fight between Pacquiao and Marquez would.

Additionally, Pacquiao also could have made a huge amount of money if he had simply agreed to fight WBA junior middleweight champion Miguel Cotto at a catchweight of 150lbs, instead of deciding that he wouldn’t go above 147 in order to take the fight. Cotto decided he’d already given into Pacquiao once by fighting him at a catchweight handicap in 2009, and he didn’t want to give Pacquiao an advantage by fighting him at 147 and end up being weakened by taking off the weight against. Now Pacquiao has to settle for the tough Bradley, but he won’t likely make anywhere close to the kind of cash he could have gotten for a fight against Cotto or Marquez.

Marquez isn’t the only one that’s figured out Pacquiao’s style. Erik Morales obviously did because he beat him in 2005. Pacquiao avenged the defeat by beating a weight drained Morales in two separate bouts, we saw what happened to Pacquiao when facing a non-weight drained Morales.

Morales had moved up to 135 after he beat Pacquiao partly because he could no longer make the weight.Pac new Morales had trouble making the weight comfortably,instead of moving up to lightweight to take on Morales Pac made Morales come down to 130 which weight drained him.
